Rani Mukerji (pronounced [rɑ:niː mʊkhərdʒiː] ; born 21 March 1978) is an Indian film actress. The recipient of such accolades as seven Filmfare Awards, her roles have been cited in the media as a significant departure from previous screen portrayals of Indian women. Mukerji has featured in listings of the most popular and highest-paid Hindi film actresses of the 2000s.

In 1994, director Salim Khan approached Mukerji to play the lead female role in his directorial, Aa Gale Lag Jaa. Her father disapproved of a full-time career in film at such a young age, so she rejected the offer. At age 18, Mukerji experimented with acting by playing a supporting role in her father’s Bengali film Biyer Phool (1996). The film starred Prosenjit and Indrani Haldar and narrates the story of two sisters; Mukerji played the younger sibling of Haldar’s character. Soon after, Khan approached her with another film offer to play the leading role in the social drama Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, after Mamta Kulkarni refused the offer. Mukerji accepted the role due to her mother’s insistence that she continue to pursue acting on an experimental basis. Before she began work on it, Mukerji trained at Roshan Taneja’s acting institute. She portrayed a rape victim who is forced to marry her rapist in Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, which also released in 1996. Although the film was a commercial failure, Mukerji’s performance earned her a special recognition trophy at the annual Screen Awards ceremony. Following the film’s poor showing at the box office, Mukerji returned to college to complete her education. However, inspired by her cousin Kajol’s success in Bollywood, she decided to pursue a full-time career in films.

Her family is a long-standing film director; her brother and father are also film directors. In 2015, she and her husband Aditya Chpra welcomed Adira their daughter.

She received a degree from SNDT Women’s University in Home Science.

She has been awarded six Filmfare Awards.

Mukerji was born in Bombay (present-day Mumbai) on 21 March 1978. Her father, Ram Mukherjee (born to the Mukherjee-Samarth family), is a former film director and one of the founders of Filmalaya Studios. Her mother, Krishna Mukherjee, is a former playback singer. Her elder brother, Raja Mukherjee, is a film producer and director. Her maternal aunt, Debashree Roy, is a Bengali film actress and her paternal cousin, Kajol, is a Hindi film actress and her contemporary. Another paternal cousin, Ayan Mukerji, is a scriptwriter and film director. Despite her parents and most of her relatives being members of the Indian film industry, Mukerji was uninterested in pursuing a career in film. She said, “There were already too many actresses at home and I wanted to be someone different”.

In 1998, Mukerji starred opposite Aamir Khan in Vikram Bhatt’s action film Ghulam (1998), her first commercial success. Though her role in the film was small, the song “Aati Kya Khandala” earned her public recognition. Due to Mukerji’s husky voice, Bhatt had someone with a higher pitched voice dub her lines; Mukerji stated that it was done as her voice “did not suit the character”. In the same year, Karan Johar cast her opposite Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in his directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The role was originally written for Twinkle Khanna, but when she and several other leading ladies rejected it, Johar signed Mukerji on the insistence of Khan and the filmmaker Aditya Chopra. She played Khan’s character’s love interest and later wife, who dies after giving birth to their daughter. Johar had originally intended to dub Mukerji’s voice, but she improved her diction and eventually provided her own voice. Reviewing the film for India Today, Nandita Chowdhury wrote that it was “the gorgeous Rani who steals the show. Oozing oomph from every pore, she also proves herself an actress whose time has come”. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai proved a breakthrough for Mukerji; it had earnings of over ₹ 1.03 billion (US$14 million) to emerge as the year’s top-grossing Hindi film, and won eight Filmfare Awards, including Best Supporting Actress for Mukerji. Following this, she had starring roles in Mehndi (1998) and Hello Brother (1999), critical and commercial disappointments that failed to propel her career forward.

Mukerji has participated in several concert tours and televised award ceremonies. Her first concert tour, “Magnificent Five”, was in 1999 in which she performed with actors Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Akshaye Khanna and Twinkle Khanna. The “Temptations 2004” concert had Mukerji perform alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra in 19 stage shows worldwide. The following year, she participated in the “Temptations 2005” concert in New Delhi with Shah Rukh Khan, Fardeen Khan, Ameesha Patel and Malaika Arora Khan; the show was organised to help raise funds for the National Centre For Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP). In 2010, Mukerji performed at a concert in the Army Stadium of Dhaka, Bangladesh with several Bollywood actors including Shah Rukh Khan, Rampal and Ishaa Koppikar. For the “Temptations Reloaded” concert of 2012 in Jakarta, Mukerji performed alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Zinta and Bipasha Basu, for the 2013 concert of the same name in Auckland, she performed with Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Jacqueline Fernandez, and in 2014 she performed in Malaysia with Shah Rukh Khan, Dixit, Yo Yo Honey Singh and Arijit Singh.

Although Mukerji was born into the Mukherjee-Samarth family, in which her parents and relatives were members of the Indian film industry, she did not aspire to pursue a career in film. As a teenager she dabbled with acting by starring in her father’s Bengali-language film Biyer Phool and in the social drama Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat (both 1996). Mukerji had her first commercial success with the action film Ghulam (1998) and breakthrough with the romance Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998). Following a brief setback, the year 2002 marked a turning point for her when she was cast by Yash Raj Films as the star of the drama Saathiya.

Mukerji’s first film of 2001, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, was released after controversy over the film’s funding by the Mumbai underworld delayed it by a few months. The film was based on surrogacy and marked her second collaboration with Salman Khan and Zinta. Film critic Sukanya Verma found Mukerji to be “handicapped with a role that doesn’t give her much scope besides weeping and sobbing” and preferred the “meatier” role of Zinta. In Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai and Nayak: The Real Hero, films that failed to gain a wide audience theatrically, Mukerji played the love interests of Abhishek Bachchan and Anil Kapoor respectively. In a review for the latter film, Sarita Tanwar of Rediff.com bemoaned that she had “very little to do except being part of some magnificently picturised songs”. An article in Mint summarised that a majority of her roles post Kuch Kuch Hota Hai were “inconsequential”.

Who is Rani Mukerji Dating?

According to our records, Rani Mukerji married to Aditya Chopra . As of December 1, 2023, Rani Mukerji’s is not dating anyone.

By 2000, Mukerji wanted to avoid typecasting as a “standard Hindi film heroine” and thus decided to portray more challenging roles in addition to the archetypical glamorous lead. In Badal and Bichhoo, two male-centric action dramas (both starring Bobby Deol), she played roles that were met with little acclaim from critics. A supporting role in Kamal Haasan’s bilingual film Hey Ram proved more rewarding. The film was a partly fictionalised account of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination and Mukerji played a Bengali school teacher who is raped and murdered during communal riots in Calcutta. Having only portrayed glamorous roles thus far, she was challenged by Haasan’s insistence on realism and to appear on screen without wearing make-up; she believed that the experience changed her approach to acting. The controversial subject matter of Hey Ram led to poor box office earnings, but the film was critically acclaimed and selected as India’s official entry to the Oscars. After starring in the romantic comedies Hadh Kar Di Aapne and Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye, Mukerji starred alongside Salman Khan and Preity Zinta in the romantic comedy Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, which earned her a Best Supporting Actress nomination at Filmfare. Padmaraj Nair of Screen found her role to be “too meagre for her to prove herself” but added that “she is quite adequate in whatever scenes she has been given”.
